APP Implementation Questions



This is the suggested timeline and recommended actions for implementation of APP:

Spring and Summer 2009

· Support core subject leaders attendance at Subject Leader Development meetings.
· Disseminate key messages and materials as part of departmental and whole school planning.
· Access additional APP training and support from the local authority as appropriate.
· Review progress in developing AfL and APP.

Autumn 2009

· Develop a CPD plan through to 2011 to secure full-scale implementation of APP as part of whole-school development of AfL.

What are the key messages and challenges you would like to put to SLT to ensure this timeline is met?

For example:

How will APP be presented as a whole-school issue?

What is the impact of APP on school assessment policy? Should we review and amend?

Do we have sufficient resources for training and copying materials?

How do we plan the time for planning, standardisation and moderation?

Does our current tracking-system provide the required flexibility for recording APP judgements? Do all teachers have access to the data?

Do we need to review the school calendar and reporting cycle?
